A luxurious coffeetable book that finally tells the forgotten story of Victor Horta's monumental iron rafters.

Featuring historical photographs, rare archival material, striking contemporary imagery and personal testimonies, this book reveals how Horta Grand Caf & Art Nouveau Hall transformed lost heritage into a modern architectural icon. And this book also tells our story, the remarkable journey of how Antwerp became the stage for Horta's lost masterpiece. From rescued steel to a vibrant Grand Caf and a monumental Art Nouveau Hall where thousands of memories have been made. Between the pages, you'll also find the voices of our regular guests, the people who shaped this place just as much as the architecture itself. It is an ode to what Horta is today: a timeless meeting place, an architectural landmark and, for 25 years, a home for elegant moments in the city.
